It's not just the CPU you need to check (in fact that's about the last thing!)

You need to look at the motherboard - these are normally the limiting factor for RAM fitment, and all the Acer machines I've ever looked at were shipped with the max RAM the MB can support already fitted.
Open it up, identify the motherboard manufacturer and model, and google that - it'll tell you exactly how much and what type of RAM it takes. Then check if the CPU supports the type of RAM you want to fit.

Solution 2

You can find that at Supported Memory Type for Intel® Core™ Laptop Processors[^]

But, it's not the CPU that's going to limit the amount of RAM you can use, it's the motherboard.
